GLASGOW, Scotland (Interstat) — Kyogo Furuhashi’s late header secured a dramatic 2-2 draw for Celtic against rival Rangers in the Scottish Premiership on Sunday, March 8, 2026, at Ibrox Stadium, extending the visitors’ lead at the top of the table.

In a match that defied pregame projections, Celtic twice came from behind to snatch a point in the final moments, maintaining their unbeaten run in the league since the new year. The result leaves Celtic with a record of 19 wins, 4 draws and 7 losses in Premiership play. Rangers now stand at 15 wins, 5 draws and 3 losses.

The match, a pivotal Week 20 fixture in Scotland’s top flight, began at a frenetic pace. Celtic’s Daizen Maeda, the attacker from Taishi, Japan, silenced the home crowd early, putting the visitors ahead in the 5th minute with a clinical finish.

Rangers responded with vigor after halftime. Attacker Ryan Kent of Oldham, England, leveled the score in the 47th minute, capitalizing on a sustained period of pressure. The turnaround was completed just six minutes later when Rangers captain James Tavernier, a defender from Bradford, England, converted from the spot in the 53rd minute to give the home side a 2-1 lead.

Celtic pressed for an equalizer as the second half wore on, and their persistence was rewarded in the 88th minute. Furuhashi, the 5-foot-6 attacker from Ikoma, Japan, rose to meet a cross and powered a header into the net, securing a vital point for the league leaders.

The match concluded with a single yellow card, shown to Celtic’s Carl Starfelt in the third minute of second-half stoppage time.

The draw continues a recent trend of tightly contested Old Firm matches. The two sides played to a 2-2 draw just one week prior, on March 1, also at Ibrox. Rangers had won the previous meeting 3-1 on Jan. 3.

Pregame analytics from Interstat had given Rangers a 56.4 percent probability to win and projected a 1-1 final score, making Celtic’s late rally a deviation from the simulated outcome.

Celtic will look to build on the result when they host Motherwell on March 14. Rangers will travel to face Saint Mirren on March 15.
